The NRD 535D is a Great receiver......no complaints,even better with a Sherwood SE5.

However the 535D and 535Db models mechanically are Terrible. It's living on borrowed time for the plastics on the front panel (namely the kepad)to fail. Why the Keypad? The Cheap plastic that holds the Keytpad bracket will crack
making it useless....it won't glue....only melts the Black Brittle surfaces making things worse.

Be very careful with the right front panel and keypad..........if the Keypad keys move all the way in it's junked.

I do not know about the NRD 545 mechanics but bad habits are hard to BREAK.....pun intended.

Good Luck
